Be sure to have plenty of gas in the tank, because Cork is well worth a detour. Located 35 miles from Rathmore, it offers a few fabulous attractions, such as Cork City Hall and Saint Fin Barre’s Cathedral. Limerick is another place to consider. It’s situated just 45 miles away. If you make the drive here, King John’s Castle and St. Mary’s Cathedral should be on your to-do list.
